The Biodiversity Exploratories (BE) are a German Science Foundation
funded research project (DFG Priority Programme 1374). It has three
research Exploratories (areas) which serve as open research platform
for biodiversity and ecosystem research groups of Germany. The study
objective of the BE include the understanding of the relationship
between biodiversity of different taxa and levels, the role of land use
and management for biodiversity, and the role of biodiversity for
ecosystem processes. As such, many of the researchers collect
biodiversity-related datasets from three main areas in Germany, and
these data often contain species occurrence information.
